00:00my fellow americans tonight i'd like to talk with you about immigration you know i love a country

00:17where people come with dreams and aspirations and through hard work can realize those dreams

00:22and aspirations but it is true our borders are out of control it is also true that this has

00:29been a situation on our borders back through a number of administrations if you've been in america

00:34for more than five years if you have children who are american citizens or legal residents

00:41if you register pass a criminal background check and you're willing to pay your fair share of taxes

01:36people out of the shadows pass a bill i believe in the idea of amnesty for those who have put down

01:44roots and who have lived here even though some time back there they may have entered illegally and let's

01:51be honest tracking down rounding up and deporting millions of people isn't realistic but today our

01:59immigration system is broken and everybody knows it
